8. 7. 2. Port Triggering
Port triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports.
When a host in the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the
external ports will be opened for subsequent connections. The router can record the IP
address of the host. When the data from the Internet return to the external ports, the
router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port triggering is mainly applied
to online games, VoIPs and video players. Common applications include MSN Gaming
Zone, Dialpad and Quick Time 4 players, etc.
Follow the steps below to configure the port triggering rules:
1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and password you set for
the router.
2. Go to Forwarding > Port Triggering.
3. Click Add New. Select the desired application from the Common Applications list.
The trigger port amd incoming ports will be automatically filled with contents. The
following picture takes application MSN Gaming Zone as an example.

Note:
• You can add multiple port triggering rules according to your network need.
• The triggering ports can not be overlapped.
• If the application you need is not listed in the Common Applications list, please enter the parameters manually.
You should verify the incoming ports the application uses first and enter them in Incoming Ports field. You can
input at most 5 groups of ports (or port sections). Every group of ports must be set apart with “,”. For example,
2000-2038, 2050-2051, 2085, 3010-3030.
